I continue to be mystified by the sentiment that being a First Amendment advocate means *socially* tolerating people I find obnoxious or contemptible. I keep getting “what kind of free speech advocate blocks people?” The kind who doesn’t deal with assholes when not professionally compelled to do so. The First Amendment isn’t a hair shirt.

Good news to read about Flickr and Creative Commons (CC) licenses.

“Flickr has declared zero tolerance for copyleft trolls, predators who exploit a bug in out-of-date versions of the CC licenses in order to threaten good-faith users of CC images who make minor errors in the way they credit the images.”

Where can I find users of assistive technology doing whatever they do, but streaming it? I need to make more use of my ios platform as my mobility decreases, but I'm really struggling to find examples of real world use beyond the "here's how to turn it on" support videos. I'm sighted but use text to speech on exhausted days, speaking/hearing well, but not always able to touch. I'd like to see real users triage an inbox or shop online with voice, but I can't find it. Help? #a11y

@georgetakei@universeodon.com The best way to reduce* abortion is sex education, access to contraceptives, support of pregnant women, health care, and care for children whose mothers can't be there for them. Also general respect for women and real respect for families. Strangely the same people who want to ban abortion are not willing to provide any of these things. Because it's not about saving lifes, it's about controlling women. *And if you really need/want an abortion, it should be safe and legal.
